....and it will not end until our children's children's children are dust. For the full amazing TV commercial hawking the Michael Jackson Lithograh by the American Historic Society—in which the freshly dead star is pictured "wearing a white suit as pure as his heart!"—go here.

I never knew that fucking little boys made your heart pure?

I will have to make a note of that.

@1,

It's similar to drinking the blood of a unicorn.

It's called "feasting on the corpse," and boy, am I so sick of it already: who gets the kids, how much does babymama get, who gets what's left of his dough?

Why would anyone with a life care? Let's not make the sleazeball Jackson family any richer. Bury the poor, old thang and let's move on.

Speaking of which, he really hasn't been buried yet. I wonder if he's just laying around in somebody's living room or something.

That whole fucking family is nuts.

Why don't they just call them "posters"? No one who doesn't know what a lithograph is, and is unwilling to look it up, is going to spend even $10 to find out.

To truly honor the person he was they shouldn't bury him--they should burn his corpse in a dumpster.

I'd rather flush a ten down the toilet.

i don't feel like he died. he's just as much in the news as when he was alive.

Fuck this bogus lithograph shit. I'm saving my dollars for the commemorative plates.

I will hang it in my special 'Michael Jackson Reading Room' while wearing my Michael Jackson Diamond pendant.

They aren't very cute.

Are there MJ Franklin Mint coins yet? Perhaps I should be pitching the idea to them? Or those tacky dinner plates?
